Aroma: A rich and complex flavour with distinct notes of ripe apples, pears and a gentle citrus freshness. There are also hints of vanilla, honey and a touch of oak. Subtle floral notes and a hint of spices round off the aroma profile.

Flavour: This 12-year-old Balmenach is wonderfully balanced on the palate. Fruity flavours of apples and pears continue, accompanied by a pleasant sweetness of vanilla and honey. The oak spice is present, but not dominant, and gives the whisky a pleasant depth. There are also light notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, which give the flavour additional complexity.

Finish: The finish is long and warming, with lingering fruity and spicy notes. The sweetness of vanilla and honey lingers in the background while the oak spice slowly fades, leaving a pleasant, slightly dry sensation.

This Balmenach 12 Year Old Batch 134 from Infrequent Flyers offers a rich and multi-layered flavour experience that will appeal to both experienced whisky connoisseurs and beginners alike.
